Israeli cafe chain may be targeted by protesters

TORONTO - Israel's answer to Starbucks will open its first Canadian location in Toronto this week amid threats of boycotts and a possible protest by an anti-Israel group.
Although Aroma Espresso Bar will fly its coffee beans in from South America and bake its bread on site, the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid has the cafe in its sights as an Israeli business worth boycotting until that country ends its "colonization of Arab lands."

Much better than general boycotts.

Myron, that restaurant closed at least a year ago. It only lasted a short while. It was not actually kosher, although I think they bought kosher meat to use in their non-kosher kitchen (which was, in addition, open on Shabbat, etc). And, I have to say, the food was terrible (I ate there).
Not sure what that Jerusalem Restaurant has to do with Aroma, or what either has to do with boycotts. But, anyway, nice to see Aroma come to Toronto!
